Crypto really is low status and trashy. It has afforded me a lot of opportunity but it’s also embarrassing and not something I am excited to tell people about

I tend to agree. I hesitate sometimes to tell the average person about crypto bc of all the baggage that comes with it.

Crypto needs more taste and thoughtfulness around messaging and culture.

And sometimes they interpret this hesitancy as gatekeeping.

When I hesitate to tell my normie friends about crypto, they sometimes think I’m trying to gatekeep.
